App Crashes with Library not loaded: @rpath/WebRTC.framework/WebRTC on Device

[mohit-kapadia-at-lirisoft]

Describe the bug App crashes while running on a physical device. Added a sample project(TestLiveKitIntegration.zip) to run and reproduce.

SDK Version 1.1.6, Adding the sdk using SPM under a sub project. Added screenshot. Even tried the latest version 2.0.6

iOS/macOS Version 17.3(iPhone 13 Pro Max)

Steps to Reproduce

• Created a sub module(sub project) in a Xcode project
• Added live-kit as the package to the sub project.

Expected behavior App Crashes on launch on device. It should not crash.

Please remove WebRTC as a dependency, we no longer reference it in v2

[mohit-kapadia-at-lirisoft]

We have not added it explicitly, LiveKit is adding it as its own dependency. Pls check this screenshot.

[davidzhao]

you'll want to point it at 2.0, which has the following deps

    dependencies: [
        // LK-Prefixed Dynamic WebRTC XCFramework
        .package(url: "https://github.com/livekit/webrtc-xcframework.git", exact: "114.5735.14"),
        .package(url: "https://github.com/apple/swift-protobuf.git", from: "1.26.0"),
        .package(url: "https://github.com/apple/swift-log.git", from: "1.5.4"),
        // Only used for DocC generation
        .package(url: "https://github.com/apple/swift-docc-plugin.git", from: "1.3.0"),
        // Only used for Testing
        .package(url: "https://github.com/vapor/jwt-kit.git", from: "4.13.4"),
    ],

Thanks for responding so quickly, I see the same in latest version. The problem is with adding the dependency in a subproject which is a framework project not an iOS app project.

Pls check the screenshot, or if you can try the sample that I have added in earlier comment, you can reproduce it.

I think I may have the same issue as you @mohit-kapadia-at-lirisoft . Did you determine a way around this?

[hiroshihorie]

Hello, sorry for the late reply. I can reproduce this issue with the device, the simulator is fine.

I think this is an unfortunate bug with the Swift Package Manager: https://github.com/airbnb/lottie-ios/issues/2233 https://github.com/apple/swift-package-manager/issues/6069

For now, if you want to use the SDK in a sub project, it looks like you will have to write a script to manually copy the LiveKitWebRTC.xcframework to your app's Framework directory. (as described in the above links)

The "add @executable_path/Frameworks to Runpaths" workaround doesn't seem to work. (already added in your sample project)
